The Delhi-based analyst Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, arrested by the Odisha police for a tweet about the Konark Sun Temple that a senior officer says was “derogatory and very, very objectionable”, has taken ill and been hospitalised after spending six weeks in jail without bail.
Mitra was initially booked by the Odisha police on September 20 for a satirical video posted on his Twitter handle. Two FIRs were filed against him, one at Konark police station in Puri district and the other at Saheed Nagar police station in Khurda district under different sections of the IPC.
He was subsequently released after a Delhi court
